Tetragnatha nitens is a species of long-jawed orb weaver in the spider family Tetragnathidae. It is found in Asia, has been introduced into the Americas, Madeira, Canary Islands, Europe, Egypt, Madagascar, Pacific islands, and New Zealand.[2][3][1][4]
Taxonomy[]
It was first described as Eugnatha nitens in 1826 by Jean Victor Audouin,[1][5] and was transferred to the genus, Tetragnatha, in 1841 by Charles Athanase Walckenaer.[1][6] The specific epithet, nitens, describes the spider as "shining" (brillante).[5]
